SETTLEMENT OF ESTATES & PROBATE

Estate Settlement & Probate

Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult, painful, and upsetting events in anyone’s life.

While you need time to mourn the loss, there are certain legal, tax and estate planning issues that have to be dealt with including probate and the settlement of the estate.

Probate is the legal procedure required at court in the county or district where assets are located in the name of the deceased to prove up the will, if any, pay the taxes, if any, and transfer the property to beneficiaries.

Probate is expensive, time consuming and freezes the estate for a significant period of time.

At our firm, we understand the difficulty and suffering the surviving family members deal with regarding settlement of an estate while mourning the loss of a loved one. We have been settling estates and dealing with probate and tax issues for families for almost 40 years in Ontario, Quebec, and Florida.

Our mission is to move the settlement of the estate and probate administration along as quickly as possible so the beneficiaries can receive their inheritances and move forward.

We are available, not only to act as your attorneys and legal counsel in Florida, Ontario and Quebec, but also where requested, to act as one of your executors and or trustees for your estate.
